Neue Schule Waterford Running Lever Nelson Bit 8029NG

If your horse has a tendency to grab the bit and pull you down, or he likes to lean on your hand, then this bit is the perfect solution. The waterford mouthpiece enables a ‘lifting’ action within the horses mouth, which in turn makes it extremely hard for him to take hold of the bit. The full cheek pieces with loose rings also make it very easy for you to give your horse clearer aids, so he knows exactly what you are asking from him, whilst still avoiding his leaning tendencies. In addition, the bit has a clever lip shelf on the mouthpiece, which prevents any painful bit rubs, that can cause more of a problem than you may think. Cleverly, two rein options allow the rider to differentiate between the gag and snaffle actions, however, it is more popular to use the gag rein, as this is the option that really enables control, whilst still allowing freedom of expression, although please note that this will require gag cheek pieces. Always try out a new bit in the prescence of an experienced friend or trainer as you cannot always factor for how a horse will react.

**Ask your trainer’s advice before changing your bit, they have the experience to suggest what might work best for you and your horse.
